						<p align="justify">The Silicon Valley Google Technology User
						Group meets on the first Wednesday of the month at the <a
							href="http://sv-gtug.org/image/map-googleplex.jpg">GooglePlex</a>
						in Mountain View. The typical meeting format is registration and
						light dinner fare between 6:00 and 7:00pm. We invite our members
						that develop applications using Google technology to do brief
						demos of 5 minutes or less between 6:15 and 6:45pm. The main
						meeting starts with general announcements at 6:50pm. This is
						followed by a technical presentation and/or demonstration of one
						or more Google technologies from 7:00 to 8:00pm. The time between
						8:00pm and 9:00pm is available for longer talks, extended Q&amp;A
						and/or more informal networking before everyone heads home.</p>
						<p align="justify">Our meetings will always be free and open
						to the general public. However, we may have to limit attendance
						based on interest and the size of our meeting space. In order to
						find out early about upcoming events, we recommend you join our <a
							href="http://groups.google.com/group/sv_gtug">Google Group</a>
						which will be used primarily to announce our events. When an
						advance RSVP is required, this information will be part of the
						group announcements.</p>
						<p align="justify">In addition, we maintain a <a
							href="http://sv-gtug.org/calendar.html">calendar</a> with the
						planned event dates for the next year called out. As topics and
						presenters are finalized, this calendar is updated accordingly.
						When the topic involves Java Technology, we will sometimes co-host
						a joint meeting with the <a
							href="https://sv-web-jug.dev.java.net/">Silicon Valley Web
						Developer JUG</a> (Java User Group) like we did for our Google Web
						Toolkit inaugural meeting on January 15th, 2008.</p>
